Timeline of Germans becoming Nazis

The Germans became Nazis through a long process or brutal war and political override.

1914- World War I gave the Germans a since of unity and togetherness. This was also when they began to really realize that they wanted change in their politics.

1918/1919- World War I was over and the Germans were crushed by their defeat. They wanted to have that nationalism they had at the beginning of the war that they had lost. The Germans were very upset that the Treaty of Versailles was signed and they wanted political change. They started the November Revolution that confirmed that the Germans were ready for political change and to be unified again as a nation.

1924/1925- Hitler's campaign of his Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party was taking off. He gave a new radical idea that no other party had provided the German people before. Many of the main stream parties also ran for political rights, but they were crushed by the overwhelming popularity for Adolf Hitler’s party.

1933-Hitler and the Nazis really took over. Their campaign was a success, even though their ideals were not necessarily sanctioned nor humane they were successful which allowed them to continue in power. There radical actions made Germany powerful again and that made the Germans very happy. They brought back the nationalism that every German wanted even if it meant being murders.
